Mutant X
"Goddaughter"
Chapter 1


A young girl was walking down a rather empty street for an average Saturday morning. She had blonde, medium length, curly hair and deep blue eyes. She was nineteen years old and she was on a mission of sorts. What happens when you have two godparents who used to be friends and now are enemies? She thought about her problem as she passed a man opening his shop and smiled at him. He smiled back. "Well, at least it looks like a nice day," she said aloud. She wore a full length royal blue cloak with light blue lining and silver accents. She walked to the end of the sidewalk and waited at the corner her godfather had instructed her to stay at. She looked at her watch quickly. He's late, where is he? she thought, maybe he forgot me? Worse things have happened. Just then five black SUVs pulled up, Mason Eckhart stepped out to greet his goddaughter. "And I thought that I would be the late one."

"I am sorry that I am late. I had to fix some loose ends," Eckhart appoligized.

"What's with the escort?"

"It's because you're just so special."

"No really. What's going on Mason?"

"I told you it's because you're special that's all."

"Really?" she reached into the hidden pocket on the inside of her cloak and held onto her cell phone. "Have our plans changed?"

"Plans always change."

"I see," she told him and began to walk away.

"Don't walk away! You have no where to go!" Mason Eckhart told her as he walked up to catch her by her shoulder and turn her around to face him only to inject her arm.

"That was a mistake!" she told him as she pushed 1111 into her cell phone and then send.

"Really? What do you have back up or something?" he asked.

"They'll be here soon enough," she told him as she began to fell the effects of the drug kick in. It was getting hard to stand up let alone keep her eyes open. But she stood there and tried to keep her eyes focused on Eckhart.

"Getting tired, are we?"

"Not in the least."

"Really? You could have fooled me."

"That's enough, let the girl go," came a voice from behind Eckhart.

"Mr. Kilmartin. I'm not even touching her," Eckhart told Jesse and then noticed that all of Mutant X was there, even Adam. "Get them!" Eckhart's GS Agents went off and a fight ensued and of course in only a few minutes Mutant X had won and Eckhart was taking off. She couldn't hold on any longer and finally collapsed, but Adam had caught her in time. He checked her pulse and then he temprature.

"She's burning up, we need to get her out of here!" Adam told them as he picked her up.

"So, who is she Adam?" Jesse asked.

"Her name is Madison Isabelle Caden. She's my goddaughter. Her parents dies when she was three and she tends to live with her aunt and uncle. Mason and I were choosen as he godparents before her parents died, back when we worked together at Genomex."

"Is she a New Mutant?" Shalimar asked.

"Yes, not that I know exactly what kind of New Mutant or even if she's shown the abilities. When she was born she had a never before seen disease that they named the Caden Disease after her. It's when your body uses up all of the sugar too fast so when it needs some it's actually starved itself. So, her parents brought her to Genomex. Her parents were great scientists also, but they weren't medical scientists. She was better and they didn't want to question it, they just wanted their daughter to see her first birthday."

"She wouldn't have lasted a year?" Emma asked. "Her parents must have been so scared."

"So was I. She was the smallest patient I had seen at Genomex. She was barely three and half pounds when she was born. I don't know how she didn't end up in neonatal ICU."

"So, you have no idea what her powers are? Sort of a surprise then?" Brennan asked.

"Right."

"Good."

"Good?" Adam asked him confused.

"Good, that you don't know everything it lets us know that you are HUMAN."

"I see."
